Teaching with
Marasaraswati students
Free day in Bali
Today we went to
teach with our friends at Marasaraswati.
We found ourselves teaching in a 10th grade classroom where
the students had fairly good English.
The lesson was on introductions, and we talked about informal and formal
introductions and what items belong in a proper introduction. The students from the high school spoke very
good English, and we were able to do a lot of conversation exercises and a lot
of dialogue in front of the class. I was
most impressed by two students who knew the answer to almost every question. At the end, we played Jeopardy, which taught
the students basic American culture and also helped them review the topic. Our lesson went much better than I expected
after the planning session we had the day before. The university students were very fun to
teach with, and even though they were nervous, they did a great job delivering
some of the content and facilitating the game.
After our lesson, it was hard to say goodbye to our university partners
because we had developed such close friendships with them over the last two
days. To celebrate our final teaching
experience in Indonesia, we came back and went to the Hard Rock Café to have an
American meal for lunch. We also enjoyed
some time shopping, sitting on the beach, and hanging out with the rest of the
team. We ended our day by seeing one of
the most beautiful sunsets I have ever seen.
The colors of the sky were absolutely overwhelming, and it reminded me
of God’s faithfulness throughout this whole trip. Although there have been some difficult
moments, God has been here to support all of us through the whole trip, and I
know He will continue to guide us as we go home and share about our
experiences. The rest of the day was the
first truly relaxing time of our trip so far, and I was excited to get time to
relax and get to know some of our team better.
